Timber Frame Pergola - Part 1

It's finally time to get building our Timber Frame Pergola on our back deck.
It's in the style of a Timber Frame but it is going to be screwed together and not the old fashioned joinery.
Until the next one, keep Living the Northern Life!

Hello, at the 4:34 Mark there's a window behind you with some siding underneath it looks like it has a live-edge where do you get that siding

[@LivingtheNorthernLife]

The live edge was on the house when we bought it back in 2000.

[@dbnoho]

Not nearly enough arguing in this video. It’s like you both knew what you were doing.
This is much different than my house.

[@LivingtheNorthernLife]

The magic of editing my friend! 😂

[@eluna58]

What type of wood did you use?

[@LivingtheNorthernLife]

It’s spruce.
